Gross, longtime Brunswick magistrate, businessman and raconteur was honored by the local Masons in 1987. From left: Grand Insp. Bernard Reynolds, Brunswick lodge secretary Doug Wetnight, Judge Gross, Worshipful Master Kenneth &quot;Poppy&quot; Lewis.<br /> <br /> (Clipping from the Brunswick Citizen)<br /> <br /> Judge Gross was quite a character. I think this was around the time the Citizen had incorrectly announced that he was either dead or dying. There was an article on him the next week with a picture showing him very much alive and quoting Mark Twain with the words &quot;Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.&quot; Always heard Willie Gross would recite poetry at the drop of a hat, including Rev Luther Martin&#039;s poem &quot;Going Back to Brunswick&quot;. He once told me he was born on Easter Sunday 1902 and his mother thought he&#039;d be a preacher &quot;but he&#039;d never heard the call.&quot;.. ....Peter<br /> <br /> John Robinson: I use to go to his store an help him when i was a kid down by rail road tracks very nice man. an had a great sense of humor<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Smoketown Organizations]]</div>
